Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) told Politico Thursday that she believes former vice president and Delaware senator Joe Biden would be the ideal Democratic nominee to run against President Trump in 2020.

Why it matters: As more people announce their intent to run, endorsements like Feinstein's — who was elected to the Senate in 1992 — will only highlight the schism between the establishment and progressive wings of the Democratic Party. Biden has still yet to announce whether he he plans to run for president.
